Student FLAC societies are run by students with the support of a qualified lawyer. For students who want to get involved in using their growing legal skills to help others, joining a student FLAC Society is a great way to become more socially active and aware.
Some FLAC societies operate legal information / advice clinics, where qualified lawyers either supervise the giving of legal information or provide legal advice with the assistance of FLAC Society members.
In addition to clinics, FLAC societies often organise talks and guest speaker events on social justice issues. They also host moot court competitions, Careers Fairs and ‘study tips’ sessions for their members – as well as social events (such as charity pub quizzes) and much more.
You can get in touch with any of the FLAC societies via their email addresses. If you have any further questions, please email societies@flac.ie.
Additionally, UCD Student Legal Services (SLS) provides free legal information to UCD students, training for society members from legal professionals and academics and runs a number of careers advice, exam prep, social and other activities throughout the year (sls@ucdsocieties.ie ).
